Compared to bridges there is no need to re-model the adjacent healthy tooth and hence the teeth structures are preserved.<\/p>\n<p>Patients who wear full or partial dentures are particularly attracted to dental implants. The dentures can be secured by implants keeping them stable \u00a0as opposed to the use of denture adhesives.<\/p>\n<h4>Advantages of dental implants:<\/h4>\n<div class=\"hr_gap\" style=\"height:20px;\"><\/div><ul class=\"list list8\">\n<li>No need to worry about them moving or coming out whilst eating, talking, smiling.<\/li>\n<li>Secure your dentures in place. <\/li>\n<li>Best option to replace missing teeth<\/li>\n<li>As close as your natural teeth as possible. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4>What Is a Dental Implant?<\/h4>\n<p>Dental implants are small \u00a0titanium fixtures. They are used to replace missing teeth by serving as the replacement for the root portion of a missing natural tooth They are usually inserted into either the upper or lower jaw bone. It is then\u00a0 possible to attach crowns, bridges or dentures to these implants which look and resemble the natural teeth. Implants can be used to replace single teeth or many teeth.<\/p>\n<h4><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-709\" src=\"https:\/\/www.44dentalcare.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/shutterstock_145028386-300x252.jpg\" alt=\"shutterstock_145028386\" width=\"300\" height=\"252\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.44dentalcare.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/shutterstock_145028386-300x252.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.44dentalcare.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/shutterstock_145028386.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>Am I a Suitable Candidate For a Dental Implant?<\/h4>\n<p>There are a few medical conditions which \u00a0prevent the use of implants but these are rare. There is no age limit and elderly patients are often quite suitable. Implants need enough good quality bone to integrate into. If a patient does not have enough bone in the right place \u00a0then a bone grafting procedure can be used. Smoking can inhibit proper healing of an implant. However, this does not prevent smokers from having implants successfully placed and restored.<\/p>\n<h4>Are Implants Safe and Long Lasting?<\/h4>\n<p>No treatment can be guaranteed to work but implants have a high success rate in the right cases. Correct planning is essential to ensure success. \u00a0At 44 Dental care the implant caes are performed by Dr JJ Khamis, a specialist prosthodontist. You be assured that the treatment is carried out to a high standard.<\/p>\n<p>Implant treatment is now a well-established technique and \u00a0It is essential to care for implants properly once they are in your mouth or they may fail due to infection.<\/p>\n<h4>How Long Will My Treatment Take?<\/h4>\n<p>The procedure for successfully replacing missing teeth can take between 6 weeks to 6 months. The time span for your treatment will depend on several factors such as the number of implants required, what type of implant treatment is planned and the whether bone grafting is required.<\/p>\n<h4>Will It Hurt?<\/h4>\n<p>Implants are placed surgically but the operation has to be done very gently. You should expect mild discomfort equivalent to having a tooth extracted. However throughout\u00a0 the procedure the discomfort experienced is minimal.<\/p>\n<div class=\"hr_gap\" style=\"height:30px;\"><\/div><h2 class=\"heading-horizontal\" style=\"margin:50px 0 40px 0;\"><span>I am really interested. What next?<\/span><\/h2><p>A full implant assesment has to be carries out to determine patient suitability for treatment,<\/p>\n<p>Not all patients are suitable for dental implant treatment. An initial clinical examination by Dr JJ Khamis will check \u00a0your gums, teeth, bite and jaw bones. It will be necessary to take xrays and a CT scan to evaluate the type of procedure necessary.<\/p>\n<p>Following that a comprehensive cost quotation will be prepared.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"heading-horizontal\" style=\"margin:50px 0 40px 0;\"><span>Why Choose Us For Your Dental Implants?<\/span><\/h2><div class=\"hr_gap\" style=\"height:30px;\"><\/div><div class=\"one_third tt-column\"><a class=\"tt-icon-box\" href=\"\/\" title=\"Visit 1\" target=\"\"><span class=\"fa-stack fa-4x\"><i class=\"fa fa-circle fa-stack-2x\" style=\"color:#F9845B;\"><\/i><i class=\"fa fa-certificate fa-stack-1x fa-inverse\"><\/i><\/span><h4>Advanced Training<\/h4>\n<p>Dr JJ Khamis has \u00a0advanced training in implant skills and is a registered specialist in Prosthodontist<\/p>\n<\/a><\/div><div class=\"one_third tt-column\"><div class=\"tt-icon-box\"><span class=\"fa-stack fa-4x\"><i class=\"fa fa-circle fa-stack-2x\"><\/i><i class=\"fa fa-building-o fa-stack-1x fa-inverse\"><\/i><\/span><h4 style=\"text-align: center;\">State-of-the Art Facilities<\/h4>\n<p>The latest and most advanced equipment allows us to carry out the implant work to a high standard.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><div class=\"one_third_last tt-column\"><div class=\"tt-icon-box\"><span class=\"fa-stack fa-4x\"><i class=\"fa fa-circle fa-stack-2x\" style=\"color:#87C442;\"><\/i><i class=\"fa fa-star fa-stack-1x fa-inverse\"><\/i><\/span><h4 style=\"text-align: center;\">0% Finance<\/h4>\n<p>We offer comprehensive 0% interest free finance options to make the treatment affordable.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><br class=\"clear\" \/><div class=\"hr_gap\" style=\"height:30px;\"><\/div><div class=\"member-wrap\"><div class=\"member-photo\"><div class=\"modern_img_frame modern_square\"><div class=\"img-preload\"><img src='https:\/\/www.44dentalcare.co.uk\/wp-content\/themes\/44-parent-theme\/framework\/extended\/timthumb\/timthumb.php?src=\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/kharm.png&amp;h=180&amp;w=190' alt='' class=\"attachment-fadeIn\" \/><\/div><\/div><\/div><!-- END member-photo --><div class=\"member-bio\"><h4 class=\"team-member-name\">Dr Jean Jeaques Khamis &#8211; Specialist Prosthodontist<\/h4>\n<p class=\"team-member-title\"> BDS MFDS RCS MClin.Dent MRD RCS Eng.
